"I'm home! Sorry, I'm late," said a girl of thirteen with black hair and blue eyes bursting into her home at the Black Bulls Magic Knights hideout. She was dressed in light training clothes and she just came back from her daily training. This girl was Wilhelmina, or Minnie to everyone, and she was the daughter of the greatest Magic Knight Captain in history and the Wizard King. "I ran into a wild boar!"

In the ever insane Black Bulls hideout, her Aunt Charmy was whipping up dinner (always too much food), while Uncle Magna and Uncle Luck were fighting (not unusual). Her dad and her favorite Aunt Noelle were sitting at the table, ducking when things started flying, as they argued over paperwork.

"Did you defeat it," asked her dad, not even looking up in concern because he knew she could take care of herself unlike overprotective Papa Yuno, who always scolded Dad-sta for letting Minnie go off on her own into the forest.

"Yeah, bopped it in the nose and it ran away," said Minnie, proudly flexing her muscles.

"Good job," said her dad, grinning over at her. Auntie Noelle lightly punched Minnie's dad in the arm to focus back on the squad's paperwork. "Don't tell Papa or he'll murder me, k?"

"He'll find out anyhow, he's the Wizard King, you know," said Minnie, giggling.

"True," said her dad, ruefully. Papa Yuno always knew when Minnie did something dangerous and when Dad-sta let her. "Wanna visit him after dinner? We'll make Finral take us!"

"When are you all going to stop using me as a pack mule," complained Uncle Finral from the other side of the room on the couch with Aunt Vanessa, Uncle Nash, and Uncle Gauche (who was talking to Auntie Marie on one of his mirrors, again, even though Auntie Marie was busy working as a nurse).

"Oh, I don't know when I can learn to fly on a broomstick," retorted her dad, who didn't have an ounce of magic but was still one of the best warriors and Knights in the Clover Kingdom.

"Never then, I see," said Finral, sighing, while everyone laughed him.

Minnie giggled. Papa Yuno actually lived at the Black Bulls hideout, but sometimes he had to be in the Capital for work as Wizard King, but because he was so good at his job, he didn't always have to be in the Capital. Still, there was a problem that Papa Yuno was working on and she hadn't seen him in a week and she really missed him.

Suddenly, Minnie was swept up in her dad's arms. Face-to-face, her dad brightly grinned at her. "I know, home's not the same without your Papa. I miss him too, but remember that he misses us more!"

Minnie pouted. "I know, I know. But I'm not a baby anymore, Dad-sta, put me down!"

"You'll always be my baby," said her dad, kissed her nose but then putting her back down on the ground.

Then, the door opened and a familiar voice said, "I'm home."

Papa Yuno was home.

"Papa," shouted Minnie, lunging at her papa and giving him a big hug. "You're home early."

"Rest was just paperwork, so I just brought it here," said Papa Yuno, picking her up and hugging her. She just snuggled closer to her papa.

"Oh, so he can pick you up but not me? I see how it is," said her Dad, sniffling, obviously not really crying. She used to be unable to get his teasing, but she knew better now. "Welcome back, Yuno."

"Yeah, I'm back, thanks," said her papa, giving her dad a lovey-dovey look which didn't look different from her papa's normal expressions but Minnie knew each of his expressions well. "Oh, Charmy made us dinner. Let's eat."

"YAY!"
